Detecting a single atom in a cavity using the χ(2) nonlinear medium

We propose a protocol for detecting a single atom in a cavity with the help of the χ⁽²⁾ nonlinear medium. When the χ⁽²⁾ nonlinear medium is driven by an external laser field, the cavity mode will be squeezed, and thus one can obtain an exponentially enhanced light-matter coupling. Such a strong coupling between the atom and the cavity field can significantly change the output photon flux, the quantum fluctuations, the quantum statistical property, and the photon number distributions of the cavity field. This provides practical strategies to determine the presence or absence of an atom in a cavity. The proposed protocol exhibits some advantages, such as controllable squeezing strength and exponential increase of atom-cavity coupling strength, which make the experimental phenomenon more obvious. We hope that this protocol can supplement the existing intracavity single-atom detection protocols and provide a promise for quantum sensing in different quantum systems.     

Discovery and Application of New Bacterial Strains for Asymmetric Synthesis of <Emphasis Type="Italic">L</Emphasis>-Tert-Butyl Leucine in High Enantioselectivity

Discovery of new bacterial strains with fast identification in a miniaturized system was performed for the synthesis of optically active L-tert-butyl leucine. With tert-butyl leucine amide as nitrogen source, one bacterial strain with high conversion and high enantioselectivity was discovered among 120 isolated microorganisms from local soils and identified as Mycobacterium sp. JX009. Glucose and ammonium chloride were examined as the good carbon source and nitrogen source for the cells’ growth separately. The cells grew better at 30 °C and at pH 7.5 with higher activity of 2,650 U/l in comparison with other conditions. Cells’ stability was improved by immobilization on synthetic resin 0730 without pretreatment. Tert-butyl leucine amide (30 mM) was successfully hydrolyzed by immobilized cells and examined as the highest chemical concentration that cells could endure. After six reaction cycles, the immobilized cells retained 90% activity with production of L-tert-butyl leucine in 98% ee. The results firstly reported the application of new bacterial strain in the hydrolysis of tert-butyl leucine amide to produce optically active L-tert-butyl leucine in an efficient way with investigation in detail.     

Novel photoluminescence properties of InAlO3（ZnO）m superlattice nanowires

One-dimension InAlO 3 (ZnO) m superlattice nanowires were successfully synthesized via chemical vapor deposition.Transmission electron microscopy measurements reveal that the nanowires have a periodic layered structure along the 0001 direction.The photoluminescence properties of InAlO 3 (ZnO) m superlattice nanowires are studied for the first time.The near-band-edge emissions exhibit an obvious red shift due to the formation of the localized tail states.The two peaks centered at 3.348 eV and 3.299 eV indicate a lever phenomenon at the low-temperature region.A new luminescence mechanism is proposed,combined with the special energy band structure of InAlO 3 (ZnO) m.     

基于复合蜂窝结构的宽带周期与非周期声拓扑绝缘体

具有良好可重构性、良好缺陷兼容性及紧凑型的声学拓扑结构可能成为声学发展中一个有前景的方向.本文设计了一种可调谐、应用于空气声的二维宽带复合蜂窝形晶格结构,其元胞拥有两个变量:一个是中心圆的缩放参数s,另一个是"花瓣"图案围绕其质心的旋转角度q.研究发现当s为1.2, q为±33°时,在结构的布里渊区中心点出现四重简并态.在±33°两侧,能带会发生反转,体系经历拓扑相变;同时,结构的相对带隙宽带逐渐增加,其中q为0°和60°时,相对带宽分别为0.39和0.33.本研究还计算了由这两种转角的声子晶体组成的拼合结构的投影能带,发现在其体带隙中存在着边界态并验证了此拓扑边界的缺陷免疫特性.最后通过变化s,构建了一种非周期性双狄拉克锥型的声拓扑绝缘体并验证了其缺陷免疫性.本研究的体系相对带宽显著超过已知体系,将为利用声拓扑边界的声波器件微型化打下良好的基础.     

A new method to suppress high-order harmonics for a synchrotron radiation soft X-ray beamline

A feasible and convenient method is proposed to suppress higher-harmonics for a varied-line-spacing plane grating monochromator in the soft X-ray region. Related calculations and experiments demonstrate that decreasing the included angle slightly by changing the parameter of the exit arm length can significantly improve light purity. This method is suitable and has been used for experiments of detector calibration in beamline 4B7B at the Beijing Synchrotron Radiation Facility (BSRF).

A theoretical study of halo structure using elastic proton-nucleus scattering

Elastic proton scattering from Be, C, and O isotopes has been investigated in the relativistic impulse approximation （RIA）. In the calculations, the nucleon-nucleus optical potentials are obtained using ground state nuclear matter densities, which are computed using the relativistic mean field model with the FSU parameter set. The scattering observables, including differential cross section, analyzing power, and spin-rotation function, are analyzed. It is found that the scattering observables for O isotopic chains display a clear mass dependence, for instance, the minimum analyzing power shifts to a low scattering angle with increasing mass number. While for the Be isotopic chain, the emergence of a neutron halo in ¹⁴ Be breaks this trend, i.e., the minimum analyzing powers for ¹² Be and ¹⁴ Be are almost the same as each other.
